Explanation

Apache Spark is a parallel processing framework that supports in-memory processing to boost the performance of big-data analytic applications. Apache Spark in Azure HDInsight is the Microsoft implementation of Apache Spark in the cloud, and is one of several Spark offerings in (E) Apache Spark in Azure HDInsight makes it easy to create and configure Spark clusters, allowing you to customize and use a full Spark environment within Azure. (B) Spark pools in Azure Synapse Analytics use managed Spark pools to allow data to be loaded, modeled, processed, and distributed for analytic insights within Azure. (C) Apache Spark on Azure Databricks uses Spark clusters to provide an interactive workspace that enables collaboration between your users to read data from multiple data sources and turn it into breakthrough insights. Spark Activities in Azure Data Factory allow you to use Spark analytics in your data pipeline, using on-demand or pre-existing Spark clusters. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/hdinsight/spark/apache-spark-overview
